First things first:
Reduce your guest list. 12 people (6 adults and 6 kids?) trying to tube/ski etc with an inexperienced captain is just plain foolish as well as unpleasant. Hang around the public docks and /or launch ramps or your proposed marina. See how many groups of 12 you can find.
Two: even if they all "PB4UGo"it won't be long before somebody has to go again. For that crowd, you need a head.
Shade: If you're out for more than a few hours all need shade, not just a half Bimini over the back half of the boat. Same applies for unexpected rain showers.
Storage: On a new boat, most dealers will find a way to get you set up. Be sure there's some sort of written agreement that you can renew for a couple of years. Otherwise some dealers will kick you out so they can sell somebody else a boat next year.
Don't mean to be negative, but the original post seemed unrealistic.
Good luck and safe baoting.
